Looks pretty good to me. With 1B/OF eligibility in most leagues, and not being taken until late, late rounds in drafts this year, you've got yourself one heckuva sleeper that can be a potential keeper for 10+ years.
I will be back throughout the season to update his stats.
while i'm almost with you, i have to say that every post below mine will vehemently disagree with you. i like the donkey. i think he'll bring it around. unfortunately, we have some serious cincinnati homers in my draft, and he'll go in the 13th round. i wouldn't take him until the 15th (12-team non-keeper, h2h, mixed league).
Swarmee's "crrrrazy strategy of the year" is to punt batting average. Due to the glut of good power hitters available late in mixed leagues (Burrell, Dunn, Castilla, Valentin, Konerko), drafting by punting BA may pay huge dividends this year. You can grab some top quality starters and relievers and a solid catcher, and then grab the poor BA power hitters. You should run some of the pitching categories, power, and make sure to draft speed. Since BA is pretty variable, those guys could all rebound and you could still finish middle of the pack in BA as well.
Wow, that wins the "so crazy it might just work" award. First idea as far as cat-punting goes that I actually might agree with.
Way to go
That said, I've managed to do okay in my drafts with a lineup that bats just shy of .290-.300, so I'm not convinced it's neccesary. One thing for sure though, you have a much better chance of killer pitching if you aren't sweating hitters so much the early rounds. And this makes much more sense than punting saves
Should be interesting when Wrveres sees this thread. Lmao!

I believe Dunn's a lot more likely to bounce back than Burrell.
50 HR's isn't outta the question. But becoming a better overall hitter would be more beneficial to him and his team. If his current rate continues, he'll become another Russell Branyan vs. a possible Hall of Famer.
